1 matching discussions were examined; no attributable action/outcome evidence was detected. No consensus or repair conclusion is claimed.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

My 996 C4 ticks over as normal whilst stuck in a traffic jam, then after about 30 seconds it starts to tick over quicker and then slower as though petrol isn't getting through.(I'm not touching the foot pedal either) It almost feels like it's about to stall. The seat vibrates a lot more too. Has anyone any experience at what this could be? [8|] Regards Simon
Sounds like a sensor (MAF or O2) or maybe an intake air leak. Do you have any access to diagnostic equipment? It is fairly essential for this type of fault finding.
Thanks Richard I do have an RMS issue, and i suppose if oil is weeping out then air can get in, which would make a difference to the engine. No i don't have diagnostic equipment. Suppose i'm just going to have to get it checked out.
Simon The RMS won't have any effect on this problem. Any leakage here will be miniscule compared with a split filler tube, leaking oil separator, leaking filler cap, etc.
Simon I have tried to email you via your profile page a couple of times, but keep getting rejection messages from aol. Could you send me an email which I can reply to.
